120 Years of Entomology at the University of Kentucky

In 1891, Dr. Harrison Garman (right) was named the first chair of the department of "Zoology and Entomology" in the University of Kentucky's Agriculture Experiment Station. Since then, we've experienced 120 years of innovation, growth, and research, not to mention an awful lot of insects. Read all about our first 120 years in our new book.
